Building new homes

Quality housing lies at the heart of a community and is the bedrock of a happy healthy life.

We work with our development partners to meet local housing need and help provide new warm, safe affordable homes for families in Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. The new homes we build are made available for social rent and Shared Ownership. Find out how to apply for one of our homes here: Rent, Shared Ownership.

New quality housing in an area can also stimulating social activities, job opportunities, economic growth and prosperity that can lead to further improvements in roads, public transport, health services and schools, for example.

We are committed to supporting the regeneration and improvement of our towns and rural areas – creating great, quality homes for people today, supporting and enriching communities and creating a legacy that will serve future generations.

Two Rivers Housing:

• Believes good design should feature in all aspects of a housing scheme, right from the initial master plan through to the finer detail. We seek to achieve a modern style sympathetic to the existing neighbouring buildings and landscape.
• Works with local stakeholders throughout the whole process, talking to councils, residents and other interested parties. We are a member of the Gloucestershire Rural Housing Partnership which aims to improve the provision of affordable housing in rural Gloucestershire.
• Will always seek to build new homes that are efficient to heat and light and limit the amount of water used. This keeps running costs to a minimum, whilst conserving our planet’s vital resources.
• Will work with local contractors and suppliers wherever we can, to support employment for people who live within our communities and to keep the miles travelled by both people and materials to a minimum and reduce carbon emissions.

Alongside building new affordable homes, we are committed to investing in improving our existing homes. This includes work to make our homes warmer and more energy efficient. You can find out more about how we are improving our homes here.
